SANTA ANA – The City Council will take up the proposed Medical Cannabis Restriction and Limitation Initiative, which has obtained enough signatures to appear on a citywide ballot.

It would allow medical marijuana dispensaries to operate in Santa Ana, with certain restrictions.

The council has several options, according to a staff report, including placing the measure on the November 2014 ballot, adopting the measure without change, exploring a competing initiative and taking legal action.

The City Council meets Monday, March 18 at 5:45 p.m. in its chamber at 22 Civic Center Plaza. Call 714-647-6520.
